Repair Instructions
Manual Transaxle Oil ChangeS7RS0B5206001
1) Before changing or inspecting oil, be sure to stop engine and lift vehicle horizontally.
2) With vehicle lifted up, check oil level and leakage. If leakage exists, correct it.
NOTE
Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other
service work than oil change, also be sure to
check for oil leakage.
3) Remove oil filler plug (2).
4) Remove drain plug (1), and drain old oil. 5) Apply sealant to thread of drain plug (1), and tighten
it to specified torque.
“A”: Sealant 99000–31260 (SUZUKI Bond

Synchronizer Parts InspectionS7RS0B5206021
Check clearance “a” between synchronizer ring (2) and
gear (1), each chamfered tooth of gear, synchronizer
ring and sleeve, then determine parts replacement.
Clearance “a” between synchronizer ring and gear
Standard: 1.0 – 1.3 mm (0.039 – 0.051 in.)
Service limit: 0.5 mm (0.019 in.)Put the 2nd gear synchronizer outer ring (1), inner ring
(3) and the cone (2) together and then measure the step
difference between the outer ring and the inner ring. And
also check each chamfered tooth of gear and
synchronizer ring and replace with new one, if
necessary. Also, check gear tooth.
Difference “b” between synchronizer outer ring and
inner ring
Standard: 1.0 – 1.3 mm (0.039 – 0.051 in.)
Service limit: 0.5 mm (0.019 in.)
